Water supply

Coalition response...Fishman is correct in stating that everyone can conserve water. Farmers
and urban residents have already achieved substantial water savings as a result
of innovative water management practices. His claim, however, that American
farmers "probably still waste 40% of the water they use" is not based
on fact, at least here in California. A recent study by the Center for
Irrigation Technology at CSU Fresno reveals that only 1.3 percent of existing
farm water supplies, or about 330,000 acre-feet of water, could be conserved on
farms through improved irrigation practices. It is also important to realize
that a portion of the water that is used to irrigate crops will seep into the
aquifer and become a ready supply for cities and families living in rural
communities.
Conservation will be a part of
the answer to a reliable water future but an increase in storage must also play
a pivotal role if we are to provide a water supply for future generations.
